New stretch goal.
I was very bad and took two days off to really do nothing. I was just kind of feeling low in general--feeling bad about work, feeling bad about my book, feeling bad about blowing off the gym to write, that sort of thing. But today I had a super-productive day at work and at the novel. The only reason I stopped when I did was because it was getting sort of late, and I have work tomorrow. Else, I would have had another 1,500 words done before going to bed, and then I'd be over the 35K cusp. I always struggle to write (not the actual writing, but the making-time-to-write) from 30-40K, but since I'm almost halfway through it, I'm feeling better.
Plus, I outlined the rest of my book, so now I feel like I have more focus. But bad news: my last day's writing to-do outline has been split into three sessions...8,712 words for the last two, and my 1,5000 end to go. A 10K chapter, yikes! Anyways, feeling better about the book. I way behind my personal targets, but I have a weekend of only laundry, bill paying, and writing ahead of me. My goal? 50K by Sunday night.
And I'm glad I found my motivating song of the novel--it makes a big difference to have the theme songs. Bling! (And "you've only got one".)
NaNo Progress: 33,912/50,000 words done!
NaNo Word Count Ranking: 2,240/78,384 (top 2.86% of) total writers!
My goal for this week is to crack back into the top 2%.
